AMARYLLIDACEA2.

narrower longer leaves, less proportional length of filaments, 
less curve of the limb and undulation of the base of the seg- 
ments, the cup not toothed, the filaments a little shorter than 
the style. I cannot discover the plant anywhere, and its 
description rests entirely on the confused account in Redoute. 
It must be considered a narrow-leaved variety of Caribaea. 
The name Declinata lapses, being posterior to Caribaea, or it 
may remain to designate var. 1 . from the others. I suppose 
it was given in allusion to the declension of the scape in 
seeding, which is common to the whole genus. 
6. Expansa. — Bot. Mag. 44. 1941. Foliis Caribaea lon- 
gioribus angustioribus erectioribus, scapo altiore, 
tubo circiter 4-unciali ; Caribaeae, si mavis, varietas. 
The figure of this plant is not a very good one, and 
there is no other. It is a large vigorous species, 
allied to the cinerascent variety of Caribaea, with 
leaves longer, narrower, and more erect, but less 
arched than those of pedalis and Caymanensis. 
Leaves from 2to2 f.6, 2inches to 2f wide, channelled, 
attenuated below. In a flourishing state it has 
produced as many as 2 1 flowers on an umbel ; the 
flowers vary very much in different seasons, accord- 
ing to the temperature, viz. 1816, tube 4^; 1817, 
Aug. 4|- ; Nov. 4, 1820, 4^ ; 1836, 3^ ; limb, 1816, 
5f ; 1817, Aug. 5^; Nov. 6, 1836, 5 ; cup, 1817, 
Aug. lj; Nov. 1^, 1836. Style exceeding the 
filaments 2 inches, about equal to the limb. The 
original bulb was purchased at Mr. Evans’s sale, 
and I distributed many seedlings from it. I have 
since had from Lima varieties closely allied to it, 
but differing in foliage, and they will perhaps be 
multiplied from different localities, till the specific 
distinction between it and Caribaea will be found 
to vanish ; and in that case it must range as a va- 
riety of Caribaea. 
7. Tenuiflora. — (P. litorale ? Kunth, 1. 222.?) Foliis 
recumbentibus, loratis, 27-uncialibus, 2| latis ; um- 
bella 11 -flora, tubo tenui prope 5 unciali, limbo 
tenui 4^, corona f unc. This plant was purchased 
by me at Mr. Evans’s sale, 1814 ; its locality is not 
known. Its leaves are recumbent, above two feet 
long, 2^ inches wide at the utmost, flowers 1 1, tube 
very slender, 4! long, limb slender 4^, cup |ths
